campaigning by the muslim brotherhood groups also ultra conservative salafist groups with in the polling stations telling people to vote yes the biggest news of the day however is the resignation of the vice president mohamed mickey this is largely seen to be perhaps because in the draft constitution as it currently stands there is no post for the vice president this comes in the background of deepening violence across the country on friday we saw clashes between rival protest groups limits rallies in egypt second city xandra in support of the constitution there was rock throwing and also burning of cars the police had to intervene with tear gas that comes just one week after a similar clashes and xandra and of course three weeks after very bloody scenes here in the capital cairo we saw ten people die when rival. for outside the

presidential palace with a deepening political crisis and neither side backing down now the constitution is likely to be put in place we can only expect dissent on the street and possible violence across the country sometimes you just can't keep pace with a revolution in the program we report on the men and women by the entire nations during the arab spring. they've been left behind. a minute's silence on the last victim laid to rest it's one week since twenty children and six staff at a fanatical primary school were killed in one of the worst mass shootings in modern american history the tragedy has sparked a fierce debate on gun control laws many saying it's too easy for the public to access military grade weapons and it is going to if you can find out if america is now ready to change its second amendment. a week after the tragedy

at the elementary school in newtown president obama made the same pledge when he became president four years ago to try and get assault weapons off the streets of the you what's it's a pledge he has failed to deliver on this is not the first issue the first incident with a gun by. your for you. but the administration indicates this time it's different this time they're serious commitment and compromise. the most volatile take coach shooting is full and it's a skill and it's an important part of our hearing the debate taking place at the moment suggests a national consensus on the issue is far down the line and the dialogue between those who support and those who oppose such a ban comes down to this with guns come safety if the guns are in the hands of the good guys that you know believe the stupid man and the powerful special interest group in washington the national rifle association has successfully fought any form of gun control legislation for years and the solution they offer to the epidemic of
5:06 am
gun violence that has plagued the us is more guns. the only thing that stops a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun constitutional lawyer roger pilon things along the same lines and suggest arming teachers to prevent massacres like the one in newtown connecticut you're always going to have people who are going to be doing these kinds of evil deeds what you need to do is protect yourself against the weapons in schools and you go to a movie theater you have to carry a gun because there will be there maybe someone with a semiautomatic you know wiping out the entire theater. as we have seen is that what you're suggesting. where do you put it provocatively like that what i'm suggesting people movie theater yes because the police cannot be everywhere
5:07 am
there are almost three hundred million privately owned firearms in the u.s. around ten thousand americans die in gun violence every year the gun murder rate in the u.s. is almost twenty times higher than in the next twenty two richest and most populous nations combined. we have three hundred million guns in america but also the population of three hundred million people so it's one gun per person and it's more guns are actually the solution to deterring shootings of any time it would have this problem in the first place the gun adam lanza used to kill twenty young children and six adults of the sandy hook elementary school was an a r fifteen semiautomatic rifle it's a military style rifle that can shoot hundreds of rounds at a record speed in belongs to adams mother who he also murdered nancy lanza a teacher at the same elementary school owned six guns numerous types of assault
5:08 am
weapons are readily available for purchase in the u.s. at gun stores at gun shows and online after the newtown tragedy many americans are calling for change again. make it end here like make it worth something make it mean. you can't you could create change previous meaningful attempts to change hit a wall and that wall is the second amendment of the constitution the right of the people to bear arms skeptics say the most the restoration can do is require background checks at gun shows but again adam lanza's mother a teacher at an elementary school would have probably passed any of those checks and her military style rifle would have ended up in the hands of her son anyway that constitutional lawyer i spoke to seemed very certain that nothing major is going to change when it comes to gun laws in america does that mean more massacres like the tragedy newtown in washington i'm going to check on. bahrain has seen massive anti-government protests this week the opposition is saying the country is

5:10 am
to leave for those who are going to leave the country they want democracy they're tired of jew hundred thirty years oh. why is. and the united states when the by relations of human rights are so gross i just mean are generally quiet it is completely partisan and of course you and everyone else know most of the reason and that's because the fearfully based in bahrain. two years ago this week the arab spring was born in tunisia a few could have predicted where it would lead leading those that headed to the uprising well teaser into the scale reports now on those left behind by the revolution. it began here in tunisia two years ago when a poverty stricken front vendor set himself on fire in an act of just peroration so i'm saying he was a hero others say he was a drunkard with a history of psychological problems whatever mohali was this is real motivation was his act of self-immolation set up
5:11 am
a string of events which became known as the arab spring decades old regimes were toppled what came to replace them is hardly what most of the people in these countries had in mind when they were doing the revolutions they wanted freedom of speech and free elections bread on their tables and jobs what they got seems to be a very different result situationist war strike on comparison. and comparison to the years before. the revolution personally i don't feel safe. when we see. all the violence of the police. or of a small part of or. if unpoliced attacked by some nationalist people. there are less freedoms right now when it comes to under their own freedoms there are attacks on individual freedoms every
5:12 am
day they received so many messages from girls saying but they were. straight even by police men. who didn't tolerate their or their way off dressing this used to be a common pattern in the countries that i showed the so-called arab spring just two years ago hopes of transition from authoritarian regime to a new democratic forms of government seem to have halted rising islamism economies in shambles and increasing discontent the pattern is the same in tunisia and egypt where people are pouring out on the streets again with a renewed. sest i think a lot of people did vote for the muslim brotherhood in egypt because they wanted economic changes not just getting rid of mubarak and having morsi and morsi we know he's obviously you know right different political figure to. carry on much the same policies in terms of economic policy in libya the uprising took
5:13 am
a bloody turn moammar gadhafi who ruled the country for over forty years was deposed and killed in two thousand and eleven and he merely being a government has been struggling to control parts of the country going as far as besieging the entire town of bani walid for allegedly providing shelter to diehard conductor supporters say you are using heavy machinery to demolish the demolished houses they can't be using now. again it's just a feeling people children and now i'm dead got really sick reaming we would not humanity of no water to. save our family. i got this time to make libya now the quarter where no one can stop them and they have unlimited money and we're going to the western leaders were quick to praise changes across the middle east they said it was the beginning of a new democratic era for the region but the model of democracy they may have had in
5:14 am
mind doesn't seem to be the right fit i think it has to be a different type of a democratic system. the democracy that the u.s. would like to impose upon egypt tunisia and morocco and the other countries throughout the region and even libya where was waged last year to topple the gadhafi government is not suitable to the people inside of that region in tunisia. right. now reunion four hundred kilometers above the earth diocese welcomes it's discriminatory to think that the space will kind. one hundred songs of experiments ahead assault with a short break. and. divine

5:18 am
russia is one step closer to imposing a total ban on adoptions of its children by u.s. citizens with the lower house of parliament giving the green light to the motion of the ban is part of a lot of legislation targeting those who use the rights of russians abroad moscow is responding to washington's travel and financial restrictions on russian officials suspected of involvement in the death of. he died in custody during a massive tax fraud investigation three years ago when president putin however says the u.s. lacks the moral standing to accuse others of human rights violations. our u.s. partners and their lawmakers say they are concerned about human rights in our prisons and that's fine of course but there are plenty of issues they have themselves abu ghraib and guantanamo where for years people have been detained without charge it's
5:19 am
inconceivable that prisoners walk around in chains like in the middle ages they've legalized torture inside their own country if something like that happened here it would cause an international outcry but it all remains quiet in the us we've heard plenty of promises to close guantanamo but it's still there it's still operating maybe there is still torture going on there secret cia prisons has anyone been brought to account and they're pointing at our problems well thank you we're aware of that making this the ground for passing anti russian laws it's something absurd and we have a no way provoked such action. but a statement came as part of that the man who tunes end of a marathon with the media we'll bring you highlights in a cup of us time. amid the financial gloom greece saw
5:20 am
a little light this week but ultimately a few felt like celebrating athens was given its first credit rating boost since the crisis began but a general strike over austerity measures cut any moment short on top of that for the biggest greek banks have asked for a twenty seven billion euro bailout meanwhile in spain protesters held an walk funeral for the country's budget of the government approved a drastic cuts thousands of doctors policemen in the public sector workers staged near daily protests even layoffs investment advisor patrick young says much of the blame lies with madrid. the truth is there is no money to pay all of these nurses and doctors there is no money for this lavish government infrastructure it has to be privatized sold off there have to be savage cuts because truly spain has spent the last decade living on the never never it was built on the back of a huge property bubble the bubble was unsustainable nobody managed to manage that
5:21 am
and unfortunately while we can obviously say it's a tragedy for the poor independent healthcare professionals there is just no way to manage to find the money to aid them in modern spain here is a government that has effectively and an overall majority they can do absolutely anything they want and they seem to be absolutely determined to do more or less nothing and it's really a tragedy because they're not helping the spanish economy under not helping the people either now it's been a two day journey into space for latest addition to the international space station crew since they blasted off from the bike on earth cosmodrome in kazakhstan they joined team members already on board that i assess after their capsule successfully docked with the station where space walks and more than one hundred scientific experiments are planned to keep the crew busy for the next five months ati's thomas barton has more on the goal of the latest mission. a farewell on guitar music was in the air was the next cruise the international space

5:23 am
a trustee guitar. but being away from home at the most special time christmas surely that is hard to cope when i'm out in space i start to feel homesick i'll probably do what i do on earth and that is to. to open up my guitar and. play songs that are important to me we shouldn't feel too sorry for chris thomas as well as enjoying music they'll be able to look down on her as we celebrate so it's seasons greetings from last week sounding spacemen merry christmas. happy new year to. the baikonur kazakhstan. now the mayan calendar has run out but we're still here some of us though may have a lot of well it's just a few minutes altie takes a look at those who tend to profit.

remains a mystery even for specialists how a voice can produce several sounds it warms. the art of throat singing comes naturally picked up like a language. a language of communicating with nature it said that's where throat singing originates from the unions believe not only animals but also own surrounding objects like reverse forests and even stones of souls imitating the sounds they believe assumes can capture the power of nature.
5:25 am
there are special instruments that accompany the singing if gainey says there is even a legend about his instrument a gill it says once there lived a poor shefford who had the best horse that won every competition but jealous people killed that horse was revived as an instrument. of stop the fall is because of the spirit of the horse coming to his dream he said make an instrument from the tree the sounding board from the leather of my face the strings. and to remember me make an engraving of my head part of the instrument he did so i called the instrument again which means come back and this minute. the only instrument is called croix. to fly as one of the most famous groups in the republic their next goal is to tour
5:26 am
broad they say for you are peons it's difficult to pick up and sing so i asked them to teach me and see if i can do it. chill it up and they were. chen oh you shared them out of that was sure to say can you know who was to take gang are all. but now it is the and moody part of the song and not the actual throat singing which i wouldn't even dare try to repeat. so maybe you have to be born here to be able to sing like this i thought so until i met she looks like it to vini and i don't even speak their language but she is from japan. most of us to one mind so that she pan from two hundred years ago until sappy here
5:27 am
she's not planning a professional singing career but she keeps practicing just because it's become part of her nature. i. know. one afternoon on the shores of the ocean blue. one of those days when it feels good to be alive on the planet earth. carefree humanity. maybe unthinking humanity even . a few kilometers away a man has given us an appointment on

a mountain summit. a place in keeping with what anatole calls his work. he's been devoting all his time and energy to it for the last six years now. this former computer expert even quit his job to get ready for it for the end of the world. and the work i do will take me out of body i will ask to meet those superior beings who hold the keys for humanity already clear that when you talk to them. to see what can be done for two thousand and twelve for them it was. a telepathic trip to get him into contact with mysterious superior beings beings who have announced to him the destruction of the planet on december the twenty first two thousand and
5:29 am
twelve very precisely. it will be by fire volcanoes earthquakes and most importantly of course by water. floods of comedy as the plates will shift rise and lower the ocean bottom will lift and what will appear is atlantis when that lantus rises out of the waters that there will be when the world ends two thousand and twelve is a giant plan for i could use a mean word but purifying for me that's what it is. purifying water conscience of if you're good or not and it's a rite of passage and that all is convinced that he will be among the survivors jesus himself told him by telepathy in the new era he's even going to change his name he will be called and told ma i think integrating christ takes more than just five minutes i mean if over have to know how to build your individual.
